Have also been to Speke Hall. Have'nt been here since I was about 11 yrs old! I vaguely remembered the courtyard in the middle of the house but nothing else! Lovely gardens if a bit small and close to the end of Liverpool John Lennon Airport runway as the planes take off very close to the house!
Southport Flower show this year in August was excellent too . Lots of show gardens and a good flower marquee with plenty of plants to buy , so did ! A good choice of craft stalls too . Bought a very unusual necklace of dolly mixtures ( thank you www.madebyme.co.uk ) , very cheap too so good value!
Went to an antique fair in Hulme Hall in Port Sunlight this past Bank Holiday. Some good stalls so bought several glasswear pieces ( my new likes for the house)
Not a lot else has happened. Still looking for a new job and waiting to hear on a couple of hopeful ones..
Wish me luck!!
